Maddox remains last Jayhawk of 1988 champions
Senior forward fondly remembers Kansas' fairy tale championship
Bv Mark Spencer
Kansan sportswriter
The 1988 Kansas NCAA Championship is something the 1988 Jayhawks have replayed in their minds over and over.
This season, one of those players has a chance to make that fond memory a reality again.
"It probably didn't understand how difficult it was then as I do now," Kansas senior forward Mike Kaiser said in an experience I'll never forget."
Maddox is the only member of the 1988 championship team still playing with the Jawhaws.
Senior forward Mark Randall was redshirted during the 1988 season after having surgery to align his jaw. Seniors Terry Brown and Kirk Wagner were playing junior college basketball at the
"There's a special relationship there," he said. "I got to play with most of them for three years so they became really good friends."
Maddox said that he enjoyed talking with the players from the championship team as much as possible.
Three members of the championship team are now involved with the National Basketball Association and one is playing in the Continental Basketball Association.
Kevin Pritchard, who started at point guard on the team, was drafted by the Golden State Warriors last summer. Manny Dant

Guard Scooter Barry is playing for San Jose in the CBA.
"I probably haven't talked to Danny in a year," he said. "I talked to Kevin over the All-Star game and saw Coach Brown this summer."
Maddox said he was able to see most of the championship-team players except for those in the NBA.
A couple of the players have remained in Lawrence to work or continue their educations.
"Jeff (Gueldern), Chris (Piper) and Milton (Milton) are still in town." Maddox said. "I see Clint every now and then, also."

Special to the Kansan
KU fans will never forget 1988. It was the year Danny Manning won the Naismith Award as the top player in the nation. It was the year of Archie Marshall's valiant comeback and injury. It was the year Kansas

basketball coach Larry Brown left, came back and left again. It was a championship season.
Fads and fashioners have come and gone, but Lawrence shops still are overrun with National Championship memorabilia. Allen Field House is a constant reminder of this proud moment in KU history. It serves as the home for the National Championship trophy, and a banner hangs proudly from the ratters. The Kansas Union championship notebooks. Memorial Stadium vendors still were selling soft drinks in souvenir cups last fall.
However, with such a fairy tale season so fresh in the minds of KU fans, many have seemed to have forgotten that just five years ago, the Jayhawks were one of the best teams in the nation.

The 1985-86 season for Kansas began with victories against Pepperdine and the eventual national champion, Louisville, in the presseason National Invitational Tournament. However, in the tournament finals, Kansas suffered its first loss of the season at the hands of Duke. Only two more losses would follow during the regular season.

The 1985-86 Kansas starting five was loaded with talent. All three of the seniors on that year's squad would be selected in the National Basketball Association's draft. Neither forward Ron Kellogg nor guard Carl Thompson would survive the final cuts, but both would go on to professional careers in the Continental Basketball Association and overseas. Center Greg Dreiling made it into the NBA and is now in his fifth season with the Indiana Pacers. Junior guard Cedric Hunter would go on to play in the CBA after his senior season in 76. Sophomore guard Andrew Making completed his fabulous career in 1988 and became the first player selected in that year's NBA draft, going to the Los Angeles Clippers.

Mark Turgon has been a part of Kansas basketball in 1983. He was a four-year letterman and was the first Jayhawk to play in four consecutive NCAA postseason tournaments. He ranks third in games played at Kansas, trailing only Manning and Kevin Prichard. He is fourth among Kansas' 'all-time assist leaders, despite never being a starter. For the last three years, he has an assistant Kansas, but basketball Roy Williams, in addition to coaching the junior varsity squad.
After Turgeon received his degree in personnel administration in 1987, he served as a student assistant
